There are two ways I deal with writer's block.
One, I either walk away from the project at hand and come back with fresh, eyes, thoughts, cleared mindset.
Two, a change of scenery is always good. Sometimes a change of scenery can lead to an even greater imagination by providing you with unexpected inspiration.

There are a couple of things that I'd love to share with aspiring writers.
1 - always have a pen and paper handy or a voice recorder for those spare of the moment thoughts that come to mind. As the thoughts flow try not to be distracted and speak it as it flows until it stops. Your creative being will know where to pick up later as you listen to it again.
2 - When writing always write as if you are painting a picture for others. What does your picture portray, say, mean, what problem does it solve, etc.
ex. As she sat on the beach with the wind softly blowing in her curly locks, she begin to envision what it would be like to spend sweet solemn solitude with the golden bronze tan 6' tall fine man she has grown to love for the past 6 months, yet as the sounds of the crowd playing volleyball on the nearby sandy beach roared as they made their final winning score, she was abruptly brought back to reality that the class period had ended and gym was now over. Hope this helps!
3 - Be original, and think of what would grasp and hold your attention having you to want more of what you are reading.
